Hello all, helping a friend of mine with his Fire/Ice blaster. Primarily, he want's to be an AOE soloing machine (not really a farmer, though) that can do so safely, and he's had his Fire/Ice blaster for a long time before coming back into the game and want's to spruce him up with IOs and such.
Goals were to get a build with a decent amount of money to achieve near-perma Hasten, Soft capped S/L defense, decent defenses aside from that, and just being able to lockdown a large group of enemies so he can throw AOE's a plenty, all while not getting mezzed too much himself.

The idea for soloing: Pull group to corner, lay down Ice Patch, Use shiver, get close enough for Chilling Embrace, and then go to town with AOEs with blaze+ice sword in between cooldowns. Single target rotation would probably consist of Fireblast/Flares+Blaze+Fireblast/Flares+Ice sword+repeat. I am still unsure if the technically great damage from Flares makes it better than fire blast, which has more upfront damage. I don't want to take both, as with that much CDR...the blaster wouldn't need both, and he's designed to be pretty tough anyway, so going in and getting a tiny bit of melee aggro isn't even a problem anyway, even on most teams. I also used two generic IOs at the end of Stealth because I was already maxed on the two set bonuses the extra two LoTG enhancements would have provided.
Thoughts?

Looks good. You're a little bit short of the s/l softcap with stealth suppressed, though.
